Validation of a New Web-Based System for Point-of-Care Implant Documentation in Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Implant documentation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) must be both accurate and comprehensive. A new system enables surgeons to complete a secure, web-based operative report for each surgery. This study evaluated implant documentation using this system and hypothesized that it would be as reliable as the current standard.

Factors predictive of second recurrence in clubfeet treated by ponseti casting.

Background: Ponseti serial casting is the most commonly used method in North America to treat children with clubfeet. Despite initial correction, recurrence is common. tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT) is commonly used to treat recurrent clubfeet.

Staging and comorbidities.

Articular cartilage lesions of the distal femur and patella are common. To provide an accurate diagnosis of a clinically symptomatic cartilage lesion and subsequent appropriate planning for potential treatment options, a proper staging is required. This includes clinical exam, radiographic imaging as well as arthroscopy.

Glucose responsive hydrogel networks based on protein recognition.

Stimuli-responsive materials capable of manifesting physical changes in response to environmental signals are valuable tools for use in a variety of biomedical applications. Herein we describe one such smart glucose-responsive hydrogel material prepared by immobilizing the glucose/galactose binding protein within an acrylamide hydrogel network. This hydrogel demonstrates a quantitative "accordion"-like dynamic response in the presence of glucose.
